Side by side

Carnell Tate is a wide receiver and Kyle Pitts Sr. a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Carnell Tate is off in Week 9 and Kyle Pitts Sr. in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.3 points a game is the entire case. The books restate it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the price, and this page will follow the sample rather than the books when it does.
